At this point, we realize that my opponent's warroom didn't actually add Imperatus to the list when he had tried to in list building, and as a result my opponent had an extra Imperatus on top of the 75 point list he had there.

Since it was already pretty well into the game, I just decided to see how I could do even playing 22 points down.

Turns out, Kromac can kill Ret heavies really well, and he camped a couple at the end.

The Sentry Stone on the right killed some Rifle Dudes.

The left side Sentry Unit got out of the Feral's way, and it went in and murdered the Aspis super dead before putting Primal on the Storm Raptor.

The Blackclad moved into Helios' back arc and got Hunters' Mark on him.

The Storm Raptor, now a Mat 9, PS 22/21/21 monster charged Helios and put him down with Fury to spare. He bought an attack on Moros and missed.

Moros goes and Paralyzes the Storm Raptor. Between the two lights, they drop the Raptor to about 20 health.

The Phoenix flails at Kromac but doesn't do anything, and the Rifle dudes shoot the Sentry Stone but don't kill it.

Circle turn 4:

The Storm Raptor frenzies into the Chimera and does a few damage.

The Feral murders the Chimera easily.

Kromac murders the Phoenix easily.

Sentry Stones flub their attack rolls on Riflemen and make a forest to block LOS from Moros to Kromac.

Ret turn 4:

Moros gets loaded up again. An Arcanist moves up and gives him +2 damage, and the little jack takes down the bird.

Rifle dudes shoot at Kromac, but don't do much.

Me: See Stormy? Without you, I can take ONE picture and get all of itStormy: Yeah, but it's not as pretty without me in it!

Circle turn 5:

I screw up my premeasuring and fail a charge with Kromac.

The Feral charges Moros and kills him easily.

The left Sentry Stones fail to murder the Arcanist, and the right ones fail to kill Riflemen again.

three points!

Score 3-0

Advantage Circle

Ret turn 5:

The writing is on the wall, and the Riflemen go in to contest, as does the Arcanist.

Score 3-0

Advantage Circle

Circle turn 6:

Sentry Stones finally decide to hit things, and Kromac goes in to kill the last Rifleman, leaving Ret with literally Elara left.

I score 3 more points.

Score 6-0

Victory for the Druids!

Post-Game Thoughts:

I don't think the Storm Raptor is a competitive model, but it can definitely kill some things.

That being said, trading my 38 point gargantuan for a 34 point colossal isn't the greatest thing ever, especially when the math says that a Feral with Primal and Kromac Feat does 6 damage less (still about 15 more than needed to kill Helios by the way).

It's still a gorgeous model though, and it was pretty neat to actually see it do stuff this game before dying horribly to....a PS 13 light *sigh*.

Ah well, it's a lot of fun on the table and you'll be seeing more of Stormy in the next batrep.
